    STEELY DAN: Audiophile perfection in pop/rock

    The Dan rocks! Two Against Nature is a great sounding recording and in the usual fashion of Donald Fagen is great music. The only disc I am really unhappy with performance is the Two Against Nature Concert DVD b/c the recording is so harsh sounding. I heard the DVD-A version of that disc...

    Want to improve your bass…Try this.

    Actually there are cases such as my T2 system where I acheived better bass integration running the satellite speakers large and overlapping the sub. Since they can handle the bass it is not an issue. Then in other rooms I did a T2 system install, they worked best set to small. It all depends...

    Audio analyzers. Which one?

    I have the 295C and its very antiquated and limited in function. You can change scale, it has no file management system (primitive store registers), the graphs transer to computer are very poor. Its a good unit for spot checking and calibrating your system, but not so great for publishing the...

    RX-V2500 Build Quality and other brands

    The Outlaw is essentially a clone of the more expensive Sherwood Newcastle but with added DVI connectors. It looks like a decent processor, but potential buyers may wish to check out this thread at AVS to determine if the Sherwood/Outlaw has the latest firmware to resolve these issues noted by...

    RBH speakers

    Mike; The Yamaha/Infinity speakers you mentioned aren't in the same league as RBH Signature Series. They are more comparible to the RBH CT series products. If Signature product is not within your budget, you may wish to check out their MC or CT line up.

    Audio analyzers. Which one?

    The phonic one looks like a good option. Also check out Sencore. They have a new portable RTA that looks promising. If you do get any of these, please give us some feedback. Let us know if they have a plotting and graphing feature and if you can adjust the scale. Thanks.

    Audioholics Party

    All; Thanks for the great compliments. You know I love a good steak as much as anyone but I still haven't dined at Bern's yet. I heard its very good, especially the wine list. FYI, there is a killer Argentina syle place called Latin Grill off of Tampa Road in Oldsmar that IMO has...

    Interconnect Article

    Seeing this article makes me realize I should never waste my time speaking with so called Journalists when they phone me asking for information/advice on audio related topics. I got burned by USA Today on an article turned advetorial for Monster Cable. And, it seems my efforts to explain cable...

    Audioholics Party

    Sorry for the bad pics but in all of the confusion and rush for making party preps, I forgot my digital camera in our hotel room and had to rely on others less than perfect shots ;) We will likely hold a public party at one of the trade shows such as Cedia or CES in the future or in my home...

    Pre-Pro under $2000

    Personally I would go with a Yamaha RX-V4600 over the ones you listed and use it as a pre/pro. It has a better processing section, HDMI, i.Link and none of the bass management bugs that the Sherwood appears to have.

    yamaha 4600 + paradigm's

    I ran the Emotiva amp though its paces and then some between my test bench and my Uncle's Colombian parties and only in the latter condition did the fan come on, but the music was so loud, you couldnt hear it. I did manage to activate the fan when doing my amp tests but it didn't sound...

    Interesting talk on Power Conditioners

    Sleestack; We are just getting into investigating this topic, and quite frankly I cannot believe the snake oil involved. I am not too familiar with the APS products but if its marketed as "Audiophile" than I would be a little leary :rolleyes: So far the ones we have found to be of sound...

    Interesting talk on Power Conditioners

    That review reads more like an advertorial than a real review. I would be very careful using a series mode conditioner/power device like this for two primary reasons: 1) They aren't UL tested or approved 2) Many of these type of devices act as a spike amplifier, NOT arrestor...

    and the million dollar question is...

    Be very careful with series mode power conditioners: 1) They aren't UL tested or approved 2) Many of these designs actually amplify incoming spikes and surges

    DVD Review: Al Di Meola – One of These Nights

    Shadow; I am a fan as well and time permitting I will pop in my copy and do a little write up here about it. Both Al Dimeola and Pat Metheny are two of my favorite guitarists.
